A bunga telur is a decorative container for eggs meant to be given away as gifts to guests in a Malay wedding.
When mum brought home a huge box of bunga telur and an ornate copper display stand, I started to have my mini panic attacks. Cartcart and I havent even planned our wedding yet and already mum has been talking and advicing me about our future wedding. I wonder who was more excited – Me or her? :P
She’s been giving me advice like :
- To set the date in the registar of marriages at least 6 months in advance.
- To have a double ceremony
- Drinking jamu to make me more fertile
And the more she talked, the more I am in realisastion that there are so much preparations to do! Not to mention the costs of the ceremony like, catering, invitations, dowry et all. And the more I think about it, the more I am starting to feel overwhelmed.
Why do weddings have to be so much work?
Yay! Our rinaz is getting married soon.
Congrats congrats!
We havent event planned the wedding yet. Uzyn is more excited about the wedding than I am :P
But thank you for the congratulations :) We hope that we can hold it in December next year
WOO HOO!!! Another marriage on ping!!! :) first one is nicole n hendri of cos, as they announced yesterday night haha! (See nic’s blog, for those who missed out on the fun)
actually. i think it depends on the scale of the wedding. i always wanted to have a simple wedding with only close friends around me.
no .. mum has given u the wrong info .. it is not 6 mths in advance ..
the earliest you may register is 150 days from the date of solemnisation .. :-)
Stress right? I know the feeling! Been there done that.
And yes, my grandma made me drink jamu too. NOT a big fan! :D
*look at ping.sg member list….*
hmmmmmmmmm
Daphne
Didnt she just say that she’s not getting engaged? :P Hehehe
I’d like a simple wedding myself and save money from all those unecessary things, but even the simplest weddings still costs quite abit of money and thats what stresses me out :\
*pushes the thought away*

Ok, 150 divide 28 days is about 5 and a half months .. hehehehe
Thanks for the info :)

Guys drink jamu too? Jamu smells absolutely horrible. I cannot imagine drinking it. But mum insists that its good for the blood circulation so that its easier for me to have kids.
Sad to say, I’ve demoted to a baby making machine :P
